Software Testing Types

SOFTWARE TESTING TYPES listed here are a few out of the hundreds of software testing types. The different types of testing you can perform on a software is limited only by the degree of your imagination. Here, we provide you summary of some of the major ones.

Compliance Testing [also known as conformance testing, regulation testing, standards testing] is a type of testing to determine the compliance of a system with internal or external standards.

DISTINCTION

Please note that Software Testing Types are different from Levels or Methods. In contrast to the Software Testing Types listed above, Software Testing Levels are the tests done at various stages of software development and Software Testing Methods are the ways the tests are conducted. For example, you can do Functional Testing (A Type) during System Testing (A Level) using Black Box Testing (A Method).
